PhD Courses and its specialties
Foreign citizens having completed higher education at Master level or equivalent can be accepted to PhD course on the intergovernmental agreements (with the scholarship from the Russian budget, see
here or on the payment basis (see
here). Education at PhD course is provided in Russian language on the basis of the specialties (see below) corresponding to the list of the Higher Attestation Commission of Russian Federation. The PhD course duration is three years. When it is necessary to study Russian language, the candidates to PhD course are accepted to the annual Preliminary Course and in this case the duration of education is four years.
The scientific supervisor from the most qualified MPEI professors or scientific researchers is nominated to each PhD student. The education at PhD course includes the deep studying of the theoretical fundamentals of the chosen specialty and fulfillment of the independent scientific research, the main results of which should be published in the printed journals, which are recommended by the Higher Attestation Commission.
The educational process is divided to semesters: the academic year has two semesters of five months each. Two months (July and August) are the vacations for the PhD students. The detailed working plan is formed for each semester and at its end the attestation of each PhD students is conducted at the meeting of department. At this attestation the estimation of the fulfilled plan is discussed with the recommendations to PhD student and to his supervisor. During the education at PhD course all candidates should pass through the official exams on Russian Language, History and Philosophy of Science, and Special Discipline.
The prepared thesis is the result of education at PhD course, which after the final report at the department can be transferred to the Scientific Council session for the official defense. In the case of successful defense at Scientific Council, all documents should be sent to Higher Attestation Commission of Russian Federation, which conducts the thesis inspection and makes the final decision about awarding the PhD degree.
In order to be accepted at MPEI PhD course, the foreign citizen should contact the MPEI Department of Foreign PhD Students and Trainees (phdcourse@mpei.ru) and announce his/her wish to enter the PhD course. After that, the applicant should sent to the mentioned address the following set of documents:
- Application form;
- The copies of the first two pages of national passport;
- The copies of the educational document about the previous education with the transcript (the confirmed list of passed disciplines with the grades);
- The copies of his/her scientific papers (if any);
- Recommendations of the scientists and experts;
- Address for the letter exchange (usual mail address);
- Fax number and E-mail address.
These documents are necessary for making the final decision by the specific MPEI department about the acceptation. When the decision is positive, the applicant will be informed about the MPEI consent to accept at PhD course in written form, and he is informed about financial conditions of future education. When necessary, the applicant may get the text of the future contract.
After that, the applicant should confirm in written form his consent to conditions of education, and MPEI send the set of documents in the Federal Migration Agency for the official invitation. The origin of this invitation is sent to the applicant for getting the entry visa in Russian Consulate.
